I'd post this in the exalted server forum, they already have a trade name thread there.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):

So you think you're a hero, huh.

You disgust me!
Just like this thread which caused a lot of stir:

I have to admit, paying for Free makes me giggle.
But those names are far too boring for me. Do you have XxX Asass1n XxX.? (MUST have the period at the end)

I place such transactions in the realm of those bloody hotwheels dealers that ransack the toy dept every morning (taking the opportunity away from some kid to get his cool new toy) and then post them on ebay for profit because they've intentionally messed with the availability.
If you don't want it, then by all means just delete the toon and let someone feel the joy of "OMG, I got the name I wanted!" during character creation.

Oh, another thread about name squatting?
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I've never understood the appeal of simple adjectives as names.
Hot?
Citizen 1: "Look, up in the sky, it's a bird! It's a coyote! It's... Hot!"
Citizen 2 (looking up from his paper to squint at the sun): "Yeah, but at least the humidity isn't too bad today. And I heard the weathergirl said there's a cold front moving in from Canada..."
I honestly wouldn't take any of those names if they were offered to me for free. In fact, I just snagged what I consider a much better name on Exalted for free - in anticipation of Beast Mastery, I took "Leader of the Pack." (though I do keep making "brum! brum!" motorcycle sounds in my head everytime I say it.)

I'll offer a regenerating flesh for all of them. It is *flesh* and it *regenerates*... what more could you possibly want?

I know. They're mostly stupid names. I'll admit, though, I could see the appeal if three players were on a static team and wanted 3 toons named Good, Bad and Ugly. |

My response reads a lot snarkier than it was intended. I just meant to me, those weren't names to make me salivate. |

And I don't mind bumping the thread, because I don't think anyone in this forum will take you up on your offer anyway.

I like that name. ^_^ I was listening to my iPod last week and the song "The Beekeeper" by Tori Amos came up -- very spooky song btw, kind of sounds like a song about traveling into hell to save the life of your dying/dead partner. Very myth-like, the Beekeeper seems to be a goddess of some sort witj power over life and death.|

Anyway knowing that Beast Mastery has a bee attack, I tried that name on Virtue. It was taken, but "Lady of the Bees" was not. Which is the title of a book by Thomas Burnett Swann, who wrote a lot of books based on mythology. Anyway, I liked it, so it's now reserved.
I didn't think to check "Beekeeper" on Exalted, I don't play there very much, but it might be free.

actual offers here, but hey, knock yourself out.
If folks are so unimaginative to think of decent toon names themselves, and if
they're stupid enough to think these are worth anything at all, they deserve
what they get. "Fools and their inf..."

I've been rich, and I've been poor. Rich is definitely better.
Light is faster than sound - that's why some people look smart until they speak.
For every seller who leaves the market dirty stinkin' rich,
there's a buyer who leaves the market dirty stinkin' IOed. - Obitus.
It may be that I get nothing, but I've only invested into this as much as anyone else posting in this thread. Yet, should someone decide they want any of the names I've listed, then this thread would have a purpose... other than an outlet for the anger of those very imaginative folks who would describe me as a "name squatter." lol.
